Ingredients
- 9 apricots (cut in half or quartered and pits removed)
- ¾ cups heavy cream
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoon rum
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 eggs
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Adjust oven temperature to 350 F.
Prepare the batter: Pour all the ingredients into a blender, starting with the cream (this will help prevent flour from adhering to the blades).
Put the cover on and blend for 30 to 1 minute, or until the mixture is very smooth.
Put together and bake: Cooking spray or melted butter can be used to grease a pan. Spoon the chopped apricots equally, flesh side down, into the skillet. After gently pouring the batter over the apricots, bake for 45 minutes, or until the centre sets. Let cool for fifteen minutes.
Serve: Dust with your preferred ice cream or powdered sugar.
Notes
Remaining food should be refrigerated in an airtight container or tightly wrapped in plastic. It is best reheated and will keep for three to four days. Once the clafoutis is warm, zap it for 15-second bursts. Or bake it for 5 to 10 minutes at 350F, covered with foil, until it’s warm.

Make ahead
Your clafoutis batter can be made a day in advance. Allow it to cool for fifteen minutes by placing it in the oven an hour before you intend to serve it. It is ideal to serve this dessert warm and fresh.
The flan-like filling keeps this clafoutis tasting delicious even when served cold. I would wait to sprinkle on the powdered sugar until right before serving if you bake it completely the day before. Ice cream will not go as well with a cold clafoutis as whipped cream will.
How to store leftovers
Remaining food should be refrigerated in an airtight container or tightly wrapped in plastic. It is best reheated and will keep for three to four days. Once the clafoutis is warm, zap it for 15-second bursts. Or bake it for 5 to 10 minutes at 350F, covered with foil, until it’s warm.
Either uncooked or cooked, I don’t advise freezing clafoutis since the batter is too soft. Thawing will ultimately destroy the texture.
